Horses are by far the best animal. After spending years around these wonderful creatures, I can say that without a doubt. If you're still not a hundred percent convinced, here are just a few reasons.

1. Their therapeutic nature

Horses are one of the few animals, along with dogs, that work with disabled men and women to make their life smoother.

2. Their inability to hide emotions

Horses are such authentic animals because you can see in their eyes exactly what they're feeling. Those big eyes will never be able to lie to you.

3. Their raw beauty

"Black Beauty" was about a horse. Not a cat, a dog, or a hamster. A horse.

4. Their power

Their history of helping people is so long that there are actual books dedicated to just that.

5. Their massive size

If you're ever feeling ten feet tall, go stand next to a horse. You'll shrink pretty quickly.

6. They teach authenticity

When this beautiful beast looks at you with those big eyes, you can truly be yourself, and they will still love you.

7. Working with horses can teach individuals so much about oneself

You learn so many skills while riding and taking care of a horse that will help you in your everyday life.

8. They teach confidence

You have to be in control of the horse when you are riding, which inevitably carries over into other aspects of your life.

9.They teach one to cope with anxiety in healthy ways

If you're ever having a bad day, hopping on the back of a horse will automatically make it better. You can get away from the world for a little while on the back of a horse.
